This handcarved linocut print depicts an elderly woman and a crow, inspired by a White Mountain Apache folktale about an Old Woman who Weaves the World while Trickster Crow unravels it again. Reflecting the timeless balance of creation and destruction, loss and rebirth, endings and beginnings intertwined in the cycles of life. The design includes North American wild plants and flowers, including thistles, blackberries, wild reeds, poppies, and bristly foxtail grasses, along with abundant black feathers, weaving the regenerative energy of the natural world into the composition. Each carved detail and layered hand-press of ink echoes the dance of opposing forces, the sacred interplay of shadow and light, yin and yang, and the enduring power of the crone archetype as a figure of wisdom, transformation, and creative magic.

Perfect for those drawn to pagan and witchcraft-inspired artwork, lovers of crows and ravens, folklore enthusiasts, or anyone fascinated by the regenerative cycles of life, this print celebrates the sacred feminine, mythic storytelling, and the eternal interplay of creation and unmaking.
